Can i still switch into a science program if the pre-reqs done in sem.1
Okay so i was looking at my courses and the courses im going to be taking in summer school and during second year...and turns out that in order to meet the 30 unit requirements for any second year life science program, ill be finished those by sem.1 of second year

my question is,

HOW? am i going to apply to a science program halfway during the year? can i even do that
or am i going to have to wait till third year to begin?????
that really sucks because im going to be a year behind :|

do any older science students know what to do lol :(

Actually, you can transfer anytime you meet the prerequisites. Just talk to one of the science academic advisers.

Should be something like that. There was someone on MacInsiders that switched their program 3 times in the same year.

I suggest talking to an academic adviser when school starts. They can actually help you plan out the entire thing.

Actually...
I went from Business I to Chemical Biology to Biology (Physiology) (don't ask) back to Chemical Biology again.
If you want to outline what your course list looks like for this year, I'm sure it'd be easier to get feedback and tips on how to manage
